Wide Tired Wagon Wheels.

Germantown Telegraph.
1t is for the interest of every farm
er to save in every direction that he
can-in the strength of his animals as
well as in his crops. In the use of
wagons for the transportation of
heavy loads, especially if the soil is
very soft, it is very noticeable to
what extent a narrow tired wheel
will cut into the soil, with an effect
upon the draft very similar to block
ing the wheel. If any farmer has
doubts regarding this effect, let him
try to push loaded wheeIbarrow
with narrow tire upon good furrow
soil, and then suddenly changeto one
that is soft and yielding. The effect
is very marked, and the same, only
in degree, IN case of loaded teams. In
either case the effect can be remedied
by change to a wide tired wheel.
Such a change is not only of advan-
tage to the animals hauling the load,
also to the road or field over which
the load is to be hauled. All roads
would be much less rutted if wide
tired wheels were required in all ca
ses of heavy loading; and upon the
farm, how much better to use a wheel
having tire sufficiently broad to
avoid cutting deep rut, rather than
a narrow tired wheel that under a
heavy load sinks several inches into
the soil and upon turf land forming a
disagreeable rut. The additional ex-
pense for wide tired wheels is many
times compensated for in the saving
of wear to animals, and also to carts.

For the Year 1892

Governor Richardson is in receipt of a
communication from John Trimble, Sec
retary of the National Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, stating that the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted at
the twentieth session of the order, held
in Philadelphia from November 10th to
18th, 1886:
Whereas, it is proposed to have at the
national capital, in 1889, an inter.Ameri.
can and inter-Republic celebration in
honor of the centennial of the Constitu'
tion of the United States;a Worlds
Exposition in 1892, in honor of the 400th
anniversary of the discovery of America
by Columbus, and thereafter permanent
exhibition, or museum, of the antiquities,
history, arts and industries of the three
Americas.
Whereas, it is also proposed to estab-
Iish at the national capital permanent
exhibit of the resources, arts, and indus'
tries of the forty.six States and Terrific.
ries, and building for the display of
working models of important American
inventions.
Resolued, By the Patrons of Husband.
ry, in National Grange assembled, thst
we heartily favor the consummation OF
this important and patriotic work, and
urge all American citizens and legis.
lative bodies to support it in a manner
becoming the dignity, greatness and
grandeur of the Republic.
Resolved, That We Specially favor the
proposed permanent State and Territorial
exhibit as a matter of great practical
Importance to the Patrons of Husbandry
of the several States and Territories.
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
National Grange be directed to transmit
duly certified copy of these resolutions
to the President of the United States, the
United States Senate and House o.
Representatives and to the Governor and
Legislatures of the several States and
Territories.
Resolutions of similar tenor were
enclosed, adopted at the animal meeting
of the National Board of Trade, held in
Washington, January Goth, 1887.

The Largest Farm in the World.

In the extreme southern corner Of
Louisiana lies the largest producing
farm in the world. 1t runs 100 miles
north and = miles east and west, and is
owned and operated by a syndicate Of
Northern capitalists. Their general
manager, j. B. Watkins, gives an inter.
estiug account of this gigantic planta-
ton, which throws the great Dalrymple
farm in Dakota into the shade COM
pletely. The 100000 acres Of our
tract, Mr.. Watkins said, was purchased
in 1883 from the State of Louisiana and
from the United States government. Att
that time it was vast grazing land for tho
cattle of the few dealers of the neighbor-
hood. When I took possession L found
over 1900 head of half Wild horses and
cattle. My work was to divide the inn
mense track into convenient pastures,
establishing stations or ranches every six
miles. The fencing alone cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The land /
found to be best adapted to rice, sugar,
corn and cotton. All our cultivating,
ditching, etc., is done by steam power.
We take tract, say half a mile wide for
instance, and place an engine on each
side. The engines are portable and op..,
crate cable attached to four plows,. and
under this arrangement we are able to
plow thirty acres day with only the
labor of three men. Our narrowing,
planting and other cultivation is done in
like manner; in fact, there is not asin.
gle draught horse on the entire places
We have of course, horses for the herders
of cattle, of which we now have $4,000
head. The Southern Pacific railroad
runs for thirty.six miles through our
farm. We have three steamboats, oper.
ating on the waters of our own estate,
upon which there are 300 miles of navi.
gable waters. We have an icehouse, a
bank, shipyard and rice Mills.

proposition has been accepted Tor
Williamson, and the two School Com
missioners are looking around for a
suitable faculty for the Institute. The
Institute will be held in the spacious
chapel of the Williamson Female Col.
lege, and efforts are making to induce
DIR. Lander to board the teachers, or as
many of them as be can accommodate.
This arrangement would throw fifty or
sixty teachers together under the same
roof, and that circumstance itself would
enable any earnest teacher to make some
advancement in the art of pedagogics.
The mineral spring, with its long famed
health.giving properties, and the beauti'
full park will offer no Insignificant in
ducements to the delicate teachers worn
out by the labors of FIVE months work.
These Institutes are not play machines,
a useless expenditure of the public funds,
as is claimed by some, but training
school, an absolutely indispensable in
stitution, if we would make that pro-
eress. or do that work in the educational
line, that will entite US to a position
among the leading counties of the State.
So we must insist that every teacher in
the county attend The Institute, where
attendance lies atall within the range OF
possibility. We are aware of the fact
that Teachers Institutes have had much
opposition in this county, but that op'
position comes, we are convinced, from
pardonable ignorance, or contemplate
maliciousness. Let no teacher conclude
then that the Institute is mere tack.on,
something to be attended, if it comes
within easy reach; but let every one,
and every one who feels professional
pride will look upon it as the great light.
giyer, the teachers friend, and prepare
himself to attend, even if it necessitates
the making of some sacrifice.

Money in Tu-nips.

Col. Mulberry Sellers, in one of his
grand schemes --forMmaking an immense
fortune in short time, hit upon raisingI
turnips. He was not so far wrong as /
one might suppose at the first Thought h
Fortunes have been made in this way
and money is being make to day byl
thousands of farmers and merchants.
Turnips are sold in this place eyeryl
day at three cents per pound. This at
sixty pounds to the bushel makes S1.S0
per bushel. By proper preparation and
care, in due time, most farmers in our
county can make about 100 bushels to
the acre. The cultivation and all
expenses would not exceed $50 for the
acre and thus there would..remain sl30
clear profit on one acre of land not worth
more than $50 at the outside. This
would be as good as three. bales of cotton.
Cut the figures down one.half still the
crop will be more profitable than any
other crop now raised in this section.
Turnips are nearly twice as profitable
as sweet potatoes, which are now selling
at S1.0O pei busbel and for much less
sum earlier in the Season.
The reasonigiven by most farmers for
not raising turnips is that they do not
know how to save them through thewin-
ter. 1t is the easiest thing in the world
to do so. Buist, the great seed grower,
gives the following directions in. his:
almanac, which can be had on applica.S
ton to him or any seed dealer:
"rurnips may be kept perfectly sound
until Spring by being taken up aboutthe
first of November, or before severe frost
sets in. Cut the leaves off to abouthalf.
an inch of the bulb, collect the latter
and put them in dry pit or cellar, cover.
with straw, and earth over all.EThusI
protected they will be found fresh and
perfect till February; the Swede will be-
fit for the table until April. Those for.
Spring use can be pitted out of doors in.
dry situation, piling them in conicals
form, and covering them with three
inches of straw, and foot or eighteen
inches of earth, which will be ample pro-
lection. When opened in Spring, these
will be found to have nearly all the:
flavor of being fresh from the 6eld.~
This plan does well in this latitude. It;
has been tried with perfect success by
Maj. J. L. White, Turner Ellis, William
A. Hagan, James Hodge and Others Of
our acquaintance. @
Our remarks and the subject may:
appear unreasonable, but now is thetime,
to make your plans. We wish to keep
money now sent out of the country for;
turnips among ourselves. It can and
should be done. .s 9il
Our, figures may be subject to correc-.
tion but the idea is correct one. There
is money in the business whether an acre
will produce fifty or one hundred BUSH
els. A respectable and truthful Irishman
says that twenty tons can be raised on.
one acre on "the old sod" This would
be $1,000 to the acre, and Col. Sellers
must have had the Emerald Isle in his
mind when he made his calculations
